Common Causes of Headaches

Headache Remedies

Allopathic Remedies

Over the counter medicine may work just fine for minor headaches, but migraines are a whole different story.

Topamax, the prescription anti-seizure medication, can lessen the occurrence and unyielding pain of your migraine, but also comes with severe risks such as memory loss, difficulty speaking, and double vision.

Relpax is another medicine particularly for migraines and has less critical side effects than Topamax and works to relieve a migraine in a span of 30 minutes. Common side effects of Relpax include dizziness, nausea, fatigue, weakness, and pressure in the chest and throat and should not be taken by people with high blood pressure or heart disease.

Bio & Neuro Feedback

Biofeedback allows a practitioner to control the body’s functions with special equipment in order to bring relief to the pain of a migraine. Migraine sufferers undergo training for breathing techniques by using a monitor on the machine in order to relax and defeat their headache. The process takes place in a doctor’s office, but for a more frequent sufferer, home units may be purchased.

Neurofeedbackis much like Biofeedback, but places more focus on the brain. Brain wave patterns are produced when you are ill. Neurofeedback corrects these patterns, retuning brain wave activity back to health.
